Throwback to March 2018, when Germany accidentally played the Soviet anthem before a rugby match against Russia. The Russian players looked baffled for a few seconds, then started singing along. Russia won 57–3.

In 2018, Germany accidentally played the Soviet anthem instead of the Russian one before a rugby match. Watch what happened next. At first, the Russian players were puzzled. Then, without hesitation, every single one of them started singing. Word for word. From the heart. You were told the USSR was some alien regime that Russians hated. But when that anthem played, these modern Russian athletes didn’t protest or walk off. They sang, and they sang loudly. Because the Soviet Union isn’t some separate entity that Russians want to forget. It’s part of Russian history. The Russian Empire became the USSR, which was later dissolved in 1991. The political system changed, the borders changed, but the historical continuity remained.

"Russia is f*cking shit" Shouting this, a Russian teenager tore apart an improvised Russian flag at a dump, while singing along to the "hit" song "Mother Russia" by pro-Kremlin singer Shaman. Overall, it actually looks like a pretty good arthouse film.

“Putin harms the German people. Putin harms Europe. Putin is killing people in Europe.” - Jürgen Hardt, member of the German Bundestag from Christian Democratic Union of Germany (CDU), addressing the Alternative for Germany (AfD). In the fifth year of the full-scale war in Europe, it is necessary to repeat the obvious things. Russia started an unprovoked war against Ukraine. Russia is a war-criminal state and a terrorist state. Russia is a threat to Europe and to Germany.

The defeat of Nazi Germany was primarily done by the soviet army, but it cost 27.5 million soviet citizens. The wall had come down. Germany was reunifying. The question became, where would a united Germany be? The west wanted Germany and NATO. For Gorbachev, this was an impossible sell. Back home in the Soviet Union, 27.5 million soviet citizens had died in the war against Germany. Second World War on the eastern front. I mean, contrary to the bunk, the United States didn't land on Normandy, save Private Ryan, according to these guys, and then defeat Nazi Germany.

A Ukrainian gymnast closed her eyes and covered her ears during the performance of the anthem of Russia. Earlier, Russian athletes were allowed to compete at the European Rhythmic Gymnastics Championships under their national symbols. Every day Russia kills civilians in Ukraine, and yet its anthem is played at sports competitions in Europe. What a disgrace…

Russian propagandist Solovyev said that Russia "de facto" created the statehood of the Baltic and Scandinavian countries. "If we are talking about a period of history that has been at least verified, then all modern models of statehood emerged thanks to the Russian Empire and the Soviet Empire. What was the Baltics before the Soviet period? Nothing," he said.
